Welcome to The Gardener’s Cottage — a private, pet-friendly garden escape in the heart of Healesville.
Set on over half an acre of established cottage gardens, this beautifully restored home offers a peaceful retreat just moments from the town centre, with sweeping views towards Mount St Leonards.

Originally built in 1930's as the gardener’s residence to one of Healesville’s historic estates which it neighbours, the cottage blends heritage charm with modern comfort. High ceilings, light-filled spaces and a relaxed layout make it perfect for couples, small groups or a quiet weekend away.

Enjoy slow mornings in the garden, long lunches on the verandah, and cosy evenings after a day exploring the Yarra Valley. With space to unwind both inside and out, it’s a stay designed for switching off and settling in.

Pet-friendly and fully fenced, your four-legged companions are welcome to enjoy the space with you.

Located just a 1-minute drive (or short walk) to Healesville’s main street, you’re perfectly positioned to experience everything the region has to offer:

Over 160 wineries and 300 vineyards throughout the Yarra Valley
Four Pillars Gin Distillery, Watts River Brewing and Innocent Bystander
Dining at Healesville Hotel, De Bortoli Wines Yarra Valley and Levantine Hill Estate
Visit Healesville Sanctuary for iconic Australian wildlife
Scenic drives along the Black Spur towards Narbethong through towering mountain ash forest

Whether you’re here for wineries, weddings, or simply a quiet escape, The Gardener’s Cottage offers the perfect base to experience Healesville and the Yarra Valley.

    Lovely cottage with a huge garden for our dog to play in and a lovely verandah to sleep on in the sun. Two bedrooms and note there are actually 2 bathrooms (not one as suggested in description) - and both nice bathrooms with great showers).Spacious lounge room and Netflix is available if you don't feel like walking down to the town centre (close by) or visiting some of the breweries/wineries or Four Pillars (all easy walk away). My only suggestion is to invest in a few sets of drawers for the bedrooms (or tubs/baskets under the bedside tables) to put your smalls in !

    Felt so at home… Perfect home to stay in Healesville with a gorgeous view through trees to the mountain ranges. Knowing Healesville, this would still be perfect in winter with the fireplace and the view of low clouds and misty mountain ranges and planning to rebook. Lovely bedding, additional throws, bright bathrooms, house has it ALL and the coffee machine fresh beans! Could easily accommodate 6 adults with a blow up bed as a very spacious home with plenty of seating and separate areas relax. Thank you Stacey and Tim!

    The house is really nice and in an ideal location. We didn’t have a smooth check in process as the cleaners didn’t come when booked, so we couldn’t access the property until after 7pm (when it was promised it would be ready) where the cleaners were still there. It was an extremely hot day and the thermostat read 37degrees inside and the air con wasn’t on to cool the house down. We had a 14hr long travel day with a 7 week old so to be welcomed like this was less than ideal. The host only messaged us warning about the situation after the check in time, when we were 5mins away from arrival so we were left to find an alternative location to stay until the property was ready. We weren’t offered a partial refund for the huge inconvenience, or any compensation whatsoever and unfortunately an apology and promise to pass the feedback on to the cleaners doesn’t really suffice in my opinion. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to any other guests.
